New valve

Post by Herb »

I just got home yesterday from hospital after a heart valve replacement surgery. It definately was a surprise for me 2 weeks ago I went into hospital due to flu like symptoms that I couldn't shake off. After a few days of testing the docs had determined that I had an infection on my heart valve and needed surgery to remove it.Anyways I'm home now recovering but thought I'd share.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. The most frustrating part of the recovery is that I can't lift anything over 5lbs, cant drive, and have limited use of my arms due to the cut in the sternum. That's the way it's going to be for the next 6 weeks.
